While I do appreciate the history lesson, you guys gotta relax a little bit... I AM just talking about what I wanna pretend MY extra magnus is called. I'm not trying to define what's a perfect color match or what Hasbro intended... just my extra dude.

Since this Magnus retool doesn't have the white cab, it's tough to say exactly how the colors would swap out "officially." All I'm really going by is how the hues look kinda look like the right blue/red.

That said, I've decided to MY extra dark blue Magnus "Diaclone-Smurfberry-Crunch-Hero-Prime", and you can all kiss my skidplate if you want to argue with it.

All things considered, I think maybe just painting the head red for a Diaclone custom may be the best color match. Hero prime is a bit darker blue, though he does have the nice grill in his chest. Tough choice which one to make a custom of.

Just got my share of Wave Three: looking at Starscream and Ultra Magnus (they were the only ones at my local TRU), I really liked both. However, gotta get Swindle first, then I'll start on Ultra Magnus, since I kinda want to try to get the Masterpiece Seekers first before getting other multiuniversal Seekers.
